JVC are sending me the first GY-HM850 on Friday to review over this weekend. I knew this was happening but not so soon so a major bonus for all my readers to compare the HM850 and my very own HM650.
The major update to this camera is the full HD chipset giving 1080 50p and recording at 50Mbps (XHQ H.264).
This camcorder will be £6,240 incl vat (CVP) when it comes out at the end of March.
If you have any questions or want me to go over anything in particular send me an email before Friday to hdwarrior@me.com
